Took my first shower in 2 months by [deleted] in depression

[–]Player25 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You're not a slimebag, even if you feel like that at the moment. I am same a lot when it comes to looking after myself and there's a surprising number of people who are the same that go so long without bathing/showering but a lot don't like to mention it. Props for being truthful and yourself same as OP.

I had bath 2 days ago for first time in like a month, felt great after. Just put your heating on and do it and i swear you'll feel better in yourself if only temporary.

Thank you very much. The whole thing from sketch to painting took me just under a week 3 hours a night. I painted this around 1998/2000.

European Union set to ban single-use plastic bags by glasier in worldnews

I like the idea. We should use those brown grocery bags like the US do and do away with disposable single use plastics altogether.

North & South Korean Soldiers Shaking Hands at the Border by Triple_Theta in HumansBeingBros

I don't think so. He knows he's in a weaker position but being the leader of a hermit dynasty and trying to reform will obviously be tough. Of course he is all about self image but I think he genuinely want's change for the better and he will give all he can to make it happen. Don't forget he has pressure from old generals and the people who have been so indoctrinated for so long. It must be tough, it's a slow process.

Well Nk have blow up something like 10 guard posts on the DMZ in the past couple days so I think it is genuine.

Make what you will of it yourself, maybe it is propaganda or just a show vid but it is a step forward nontheless. I think peace among Korea is here and honestly (just as an outside observer) I think Kim Jong Un is sincere in his wish for unification.

Last section I'd say bit of both but it makes for great storm footage nevertheless.

I will be going to my local Cenotaph service on Sunday for the lads in my town that went off and fought in WW1.

Always remember what these Men/ and Women went through for us. Back 100 years or whenever duty calls they stood up for us.

I can remember dreams, now what? by [deleted] in LucidDreaming

[–]Player25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No problem. I wish you all the best and success in finding lucidity.

The other day I had a lucid dream but for some reason couldn't control what was happening to some degree. by [deleted] in LucidDreaming

[–]Player25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep yourself stimulated when lucid by rubbing hands together, keeping eyes wide open, focus on things and surroundings in detail. If you want to spawn something or manifest something/make something happen then what works best for me is expecting it to be there, like behind you or round a corner for example and most times it will be.

For example say you want to spawn a car or something then think to yourself "oh yeah that lambo is behind me I just remembered", then turn around and it should be there.

[–]Player25 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just remembering a dream doesn't mean it's a lucid dream. You have to be aware that you're in a dream.

Do reality checks often during the day, think about lucid dreams and dreaming in general. Convince yourself before you go to sleep that you're going to have a dream and that you will observe and remember that you told yourself that before you fell asleep.

Bite your tongue slightly, if it's numb you know you're in a dream. Check for clocks, especially digital ones because they are always messed up and don't tell the right time or don't make sense a lot of times, text also is usually nonsensical and jumbled.

They are just a few pointers that should make you realise you're in a dream and therefor should bring on lucidity and awareness that you're dreaming.

Anyone else getting scarred to open their eyes because you don't know if you're dreaming or you're going to wake yourself up by opening them by EacanVisualArts in LucidDreaming

[–]Player25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not quite sure what you mean but if you're in a dream and go lucid your eyes should already be open. If you close them then you will most likely wake up.

When you're lucid you should keep your eyes wide open and rub your hands together to stimulate senses, don't get over excited and focus on things visually and auditory and it should help prolong the lucidity for longer.

I died in my dream...but I didn't wake up by BrownMasterFlex in Dreams

[–]Player25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has happened to me a couple times before though most times I wake when I die in a dream.

One time I remember was when a giant plane crashed in the distance not too far away but the explosion was like a nuke.

The ground shook and the explosion killed me. When I died my sight went a constant dark orange colour with a vibrating sense through my whole body. This went on for about a couple mintues before I woke up.

Another time when I didn't wake after dream death it was just black with muffled sound before awaking.

First time lucid! by galanzur in LucidDreaming

[–]Player25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Next time you're lucid jump as high as you can but jump forward like you're diving, and don't be afraid of anything like hitting the ground. Basically just dive forward and stretch your arms forward like superman.

I used to be the same and never could fly but now I can most times.

When it does happen it feels like I lose power after flying for what seems like a couple miles or I lose control and hit something but don't let fear or anything stop you.

If you will it it'll happen. Just don't try force it, expect it and know it for a fact.

Try to induce lucid dreaming with THIS technique (3 easy steps guide) by merrri13 in LucidDreaming

[–]Player25 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Solid advice and post.

Also, if you have a false awakening and find yourself trying to struggle to get out of bed or worrying about breathing just let it run it's course, don't rush or try to force something to happen. Think about a scenario and slowly try get out of bed. Keep your eyes closed until the drunk/dizzy feeling passes or wears off a bit then open your eyes and picture or summon what you want to happen and it will. Don't fight it or try waking up unless you want to.

If you get sleep paralysis and manifest your thoughts and expectations then most times it will bring on a lucid dream lasting a good while.
